Australia and New Zealand were always on my bucket list. Fortunately I'm retired now but also doing some consulting, so had the time and also some income surplus to requirements (oh I long for those days again but we spent it all on this trip!) to make the dream possible. We have friends who say they've been to Oz because they spent one night in Sydney Harbour on a cruise stop - if you're going to do it you need to have enough time to see as much as possible. Glad I can share our trip with you!
